SportingBet Review

Did the Challenge and placed the free bet, The horse race was voided and the free bet not credited.Very dishonourable and unsportsmanlike

I would give them minus one if it was available,Probably the worst bookmaker i have ever signed up to,Up to now they have not bothered to give me the bonuses as promised.After a lengthy chat via live chat and was told dont worry it will be added a further 3 days later still nothing, even the boost bonus was not available as promised, all in all zero,I have also 3 days ago sent them 2 emails all ignored,They should be reported to trading standards i might just do that wednesday as i have a day off from work,The final kick in the teeth was a sales email i saw this morning which prompted me to do this review,It said make another deposit for a further bonus, who are these people, dam rip off, give me what i am owed you robbers

I trusted Sportingbet to respect the responsible gaming limits, but they allowed me to deposit far beyond the regulated amount. This is a clear violation of German gambling regulations.Other reputable betting sites acknowledged similar issues and refunded the excess deposits, but Sportingbet refuses to take responsibility. Even after the GGL confirmed that their system failed to enforce limits properly, they continue to ignore my requests for a fair resolution.Instead of protecting players, Sportingbet chooses to delay, ignore, and deny. If something goes wrong, don’t expect any help – you’re on your own! Avoid this platform at all costs.

Just i wanna say to new people who want to register with sporting bet don’t do that THEY ARE SCAM

I opened an account on Monday 17th depositing £30. I did five bets of £5 with a total return of £13.80. On Tuesday the 18th I went to have a bet on the site and placed a stake of £10. I was informed that I had been restricted to a stake of 84p. I am old enough to be aware of gambling problems and the effects they can have, but to restrict someone to a stake of 84p is a joke and an insult. I am more than happy to provide photographic evidence of their customer service. This is not a slur job on Sportingbet as I actually thought their site was aesthetically pleasing and well set out. They are in fact the only bookmaker to restrict me and I have been betting since the days when you had to pay 10% betting tax.

They don’t give out cash outs when your bet slip is left with one game

Best betting site out there. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Terrible. I couldn’t even complete the signup challenges to get the free bets because they said I’m no longer eligible.Also restricted to 84p max for bets.

They will restrict you as soon you win a few bets. They will only allow you to use casino, so they can rob you

Engrained incompetence at every level.I was repeatedly told by LC International agents that my bank was blocking withdrawal payments. I then tried to withdraw to paypal which also failed. An agent eventually admitted that they had problems processing withdrawals which had been acknowledged by their technical team and that they were trying to resolveGetting my winnings from SportingBet, Coral and Ladbrokes has become hell recently. It used to be within four hours everytime, now it’s days and only after initiating conversations with support. The icing on the cake is that on two occasions they have declined to give me a free bet despite me telling them of severe inconvenience and dissatisfaction with my experience. Unfortunately the UK gambling market is too competitive to invest any further time in companies like LC International and thus I have proceeded to close my accounts across all brands.Very bad business towards a long term customer who has been betting with you for many years.Good day.

Have lost approx £159,000 with them in the last 3 years in their shops (£80k in shops and 79k online at Sporting Bet / Ladbrokes / Coral etc…)I am a member of GAMSTOP but foolishly I asked friends who did not gamble to open accounts which were totally and exclusively funded myself and from the same bank account and I can say without a miniscule of doubt that they knew it was me funding the accounts as it would be impossible not to (as the same bank details were used each time via apply and revolut pay) and I also know a senior bookmaker insider who has advised that I am infamous for my losses. They and most bookmakers make 95-99% of their money from problem gamblers.I have written to them as have my friends involved asking why as per direction from the GC but they have flat ignored everything.I am so certain that they know it is me that I recorded one of their employees saying so. BUT, I will expose it even if it is my last dying duty.PS Lost approx 200k in the last 10 years in their Entain shops in Ireland that they bought off Barney Eastwood and was the biggest and most notorious loser in their busiest Belfast shop SO THEY KNOW).

Wow I’ve seen some bad reviews on betting sites in my time but these guys have beat the lot lol lucky I cone on here I was just gonna make my 1st deposit

Reply

I deposited £40 and placed a total of 3 bets on here. 1 on an Arsenal game, 1 on Tottenham and 1 on a premier league ACCA. Apparently, this warrants completely restricting my account so that I can place a maximum of £0.84 on bets!? Ridiculous. Probably just because all 3 of my bets happened to win they didn’t like that. Didn’t even withdraw either as I was continuing to use their site, but apparently I’m not welcome. Bet365 is better anyway.

I downloaded this app last night put in 20 and won 100 on the casino I had no problems at all with withdrawing as most people are saying they had problems , the money was in my account this morning

I been waiting fir my withdrawl for more than a week uploaded my documents still aint recieved yet

What can I say lol . Luckily I only deposited £12 so I can’t be accused of being a bad loser and my review isn’t valid . Like I said played with £12 win over £200 on slots withdrew 200 and from that exact moment BOOM . No access to account . Spoke to online chat . Sent documents needed to be verified . Was told I have to ring them to get back access to my account . Spoke to a nice lady was told I could log back in within the hour . Logged in fine back on site went to play a game nothing loaded . Logged out logged back in YOUR ACCOUNT IS BLOCKED ! And surprise surprise no response on web chat at all , all of a sudden there’s no one available to answer my calls and every email I try to send it fails with an internal issue lol need I say more people ?? I’m so glad I did this early on like I do on all my sites to test withdrawal times and issues etc . They could’ve and would’ve had 1000,s from me but screwed me over after £12 lol I doubt I’ll see the withdrawal or the remainder of my balance . Join at your own risk guys . £12 well spent to know how bad these people are lol .

After reading the reviews of this casino I was concerned there may an issue taking out my winnings. However i got them a few hours later so I’m really happy with this casino so far.

I have spent 100s of 1000s in sporting bet recently and did not get anything back. They have rigged it in such a way that its so difficult to win. There are way too many bonus deals but you can’t actually win most of the time. I will not be using them again. In the past 2 months I have put in so much and couldn’t even get up to R5000 in winnings and then it was all gone. I thought to try again but everytime I deposit my funds get depleted so quickly. To think that because I’ve put in so much I’d at least be given a small portion of what I put in back, but that was not the case.

Do not bet with these scumbags. They let you deposit them they block you immediately and steal your money. If you wanna lose money, use these crooks! They’re lucky they’re not based in England otherwise I be smashing there offices up. Scum!!!

Terrible company who will not pay out any winnings. DO NOT gamble with this company.

I signed up for sportingbet on the 24/03/2024 and was immediately electronically verified and was allowed to deposit and play.Since then I have deposited around £750 playing slots. Yesterday I won £2000 and tried to withdraw my winnings. After almost 24 hours without payout I contacted support and was advised I needed to send documentation to verify my account. I sent the documents even though UK Gambling Commission rules state;”A gambling business can’t ask you to prove your age and identity as a condition of withdrawing your money if they could have asked you at an earlier point. However, there may be occasions where a gambling business can only ask you for information at that time in order to fulfil legal obligations.If a gambling business needs more information before you can withdraw your funds, for example, for anti-money laundering checks, then they should ask promptly and not only when you want to withdraw your funds.”After sending the requested documents, I received an email from sportingbet stating they have made a business decision to close my account and confiscate the balance quoting terms and conditions sections 14, 16 & 17. Having read these, I have not placed any fraudulent bets nor have I reached any other terms and conditions. Email after email, customer service chat after customer service chat and I’m getting automated repetitive responses or told to contact the email that is giving me the automated responses.

Worst company in greece low odds on sports i lost 1k in 10 min asked for a bonus and they didnt give a single euro.dont play there are way better books

Bet placed 17 February taking odds offered under Best Odds Guaranteed promotion. Starting prices for two winning selections were better than BOG odds and return should have been circa £600. However bet was settled using shorter BOG odds and Sportingbet only paid out £410. Despite providing clear evidence BOG promotion rules applied they simply respond saying bet settlement is correct and give no explanation. My experience with this bookmaker was terrible and if I could have given them no stars I would have done. Avoid at all costs!

I made a 500 deposit, received an additional 400 bonus.. Placed a few bets n got it up to 1400, placed some more bets n got it back down to around 1000.. A few days later my account balance was zero.. I queried it with the live chat and got the following responses: Thank you for your patience, i regret to inform you that an amount of R R 602,57 plus R 400 was claimed back when your Bonus expired before you could complete your wagering… And: With regards to the above funds were claimed back when your Bonus expired, we will not be adding these funds back due to this action being inline with the terms of the bonus, to take this further you can contact the Western cape Gambling board. What a scam!

This is just a knock off version of coral and ladbrokes but 10times worse (if that’s even possible). It really isn’t worth signing upto all they want is your money they have no interest what so ever in letting you win. Closed my account after 1 day of it being open

Do not register with this company. They will limit your stakes to laugh at you after first won bet. Stay away. Nothing new here, another company of deceiving crooks.

Please understand that there is a reason for 1 star reviews!!!! This is the worst company i have ever placed a bet on! Username: costeacipri After winning a bet on over market, a odd of 2, nothing crazy, i have been voided, they stole my money, not giving me the profit but this is not all. They blocked my withdrawals and blocked my account(unable to login) with 330 pound on it. I have been 4 times with agents on the chat, they are saying a superior needs to solve this issue but nobody is helping, I have also emailed them and no response.Literality stealing your money in 2023, i cannot believe those companies are still on the market. STAY AWAY!! If you get lucky they won’t pay you! Read not only this review but all the reviews and find another betting site. I WILL COME BACK WITH AN UPDATE!

Absolutely scammers don’t waste your money, as soon as you have a small win they shut down your account!! Then tell you there is an issue with your verification document, Avoid this site

Asked for verification as a condition of withdrawal. Already uploaded and still unwilling to payout. If anyone else is having issues with this you can contact the gambling commission and refer to section 17.1.1 which they are in breach of

Don’t play in their casino, the winning chances are zero. Their slots are absolutely terrible.

Terrible. Absolute cheats. I win money betting on a certain sport, so they ban me from betting on that sport.

Had account years and never had any problems, quick withdrawals etc, but now they have put a monthly loss limit on my account without telling me, I have contacted help and they told me to send proof of income to get the limit removed which would be done within 24 hours , I sent what they asked for and it’s still not been removed even after 24 hours and chat cannot help. I know how much I can afford to spend do not need them changing my limits for me so I have now closed account will play on another site in future
